    A Very Missed Classic. You have no idea how long I have been looking for another pair of these wonderful, and barefoot comfort-feeling shoes. After I finish this review I will finally be getting another pair of these wonders for the feet. Thanks for still producing these GREAT shoes. Sincerely, Jesse W. Welch

    A classic. I've owned a pair of these wonderful shoes for a while now. If you're traveling by air, -what a dream. I'll never outgrow the need for these. Very few people carry these. Thanks Zappos.

    from Las Vegas, St. Louis, Washington D.C., Chicago, all in the Home of the Brave.

    Teenage companion. Living in Lagos, Nigeria in 1971, these were the only real quality shoes you could buy. The only other brand was Bata. I thought they were the ugliest, but had a lot of teen "firsts" while wearing them. They held up extremly well in the tropical heat and downpours of equatorial Africa. My dad and brother wore them too. Our "dessies" felt right at home when we were in Kenya's Tsavo game park sneaking through the red dust and acquiring its color while trying to photograph rhino. Their last encore was dinner at the swank Dorchester Hotel in London where strangers of equally swank pedigrees complimented us on how well one of their national icons fared in a posh setting. Years later, in 2001 I renewed my bond with them and still attest to their comfort and classic styling and compliments received even though my safaris are limited to the hot and dusty streets of urban America. Cheerio!

    A Phenomenal Classic. These shoes never cease to amaze me. After hearing my grandfather rave about them while in India during WWII, and reading GQ's glowing review of this classic, I simply had to purchase a pair. All I can say is that they do everything. They look great, feel great and last for years.

    There's not a better shoe. I'm 61 years old and I've worn this style of shoe since I was a very young man (17) and they can't be beat, when I purchase this next pair they will be about my 27th pair and I'll continue to buy them as long as they make them. Jack Wagner Columbus, Ohio

    Just the "Best". I first bought a pair when I was 25 and wore them for the next 25 years before loosing touch with the stores that carry them. Thanks for the internet. Be careful of oil, grease and gas on the crepe soles...otherwise the best!

    Simply the best!! If this shoe is ever discontinued I hope that Buckingham Palace and all it's inhabitants are forced to work at a McDonalds in Sebastopol, Mississippi. I have worn it hunting, shopping, working in the yard. I have owned a pair of Clark's dessert boots since I discovered them as a seventh grader in 1968. They are the most versatile, comfortable and best looking 3/4 boot in the world. You can climb mountains, hike desserts, ford swollen rivers and stay up with your wife at the mall.

    Comfortable and Stable I bought the soft brown suede. They come soft and comfortable out of the box. The laces seem like they won't really hold the shoe stable, but they do. I think I have a new casual/dress all day shoe. These are great. My feet come in the wide variety, yet these shoes feel great at the usual size without additional width. If you have wide feet, you would be crazy not to buy these shoes.

    The ONLY Desert Boot! This is truely the only desert boot to own. Nothing compares! I'm hard on shoes and these boots last. My only wish is for shoestrings to last as long as the boots. Don't get me wrong, the shoestrings last as well. But the boots just keep going and going. This boot should be considered a work of art. It's never out of style!

    Clark's Desert Boots Rule! I've had my pair for 15 years and they're still good as new with the original laces and I wear them alot - even to construction sites. Clark's are simply superb and the original Desert Boot is so right on that nothing else is as good! If you want the best there is no comparison.

    The Best Shoe Ever - I bought my pair of Desert Boots last week, not the new ones, but the classic Original Desert Boot. This shoe fits my feet very comfortably. This shoe is unlike any other shoe I've had. They feel very soft on my feet. I plan on buying each of the various colors of this shoe. I hope they could be offered in other fancy colors such as blue/kaki/teal.

    Most versatile - This boot goes with anything, shorts, dress slacks or jeans. One of the most comfortable boots I've ever own. I've been wearing Clarks since the early 70's. We even played soccer in them and still could not wear them out. To this day, I still own a few pairs. Though I've stepped up to Mephisto, my true love lies with this Boot.

    Very comfortable shoe! I use to wear Clark's Desert Boots back in the 1960's and 70's when I was a student attending school. I have always found the Clarks desert boot to be very comfortable. They never seem to go out of style and can be worn in just about any casual atmosphere. Just be careful when ordering your size! Since these shoes are from England, they are cut bigger! My normal USA size is 13M. I'm one size smaller in the Clark's desert boot so be careful when selecting your size. Other than that, these shoes are excellent!
